I've seen applications for outline planning permission to build houses on the Belle Vue site, which I think were made by the club. This however is full planning permission applied for by a noted housebuilding company.

Also the application for permission to demolish the existing stadium is a new one on me.

It seems quite specific in some respects but then fails to mention dismantling/demolishing the Benidorm flats,unless you don't have to list everything to be demolished.

The flats are modular and were errected knowing that when they were no longer needed they would have a decent re sale value.

This is painful.

Outline planning permission is like the developer got at Cas and other big developers go for up and down the country - all it mentions is what they hope to do - in a way it's to see if full permission is likely to be granted without having to go into all the details. That's what we had on Belle Vue and I think it lasts for a few years.
Full Planning permission specifies exactly what and where is being developed, types of houses, siting, roads, etc. Now the full one's going in at Belle Vue (and if it gets passed), it's far more 'real' than any outline permission could be. And I don't doubt with Full permission, the club will have a better idea of what the site is worth to a developer and so how much the club would get.

Now what, I wonder, do Trinity need a cash sum to invest in, Hmm?
